Jet Airways is lacking in operational aircraft count, only 70 out of the total 119 aircraft of Jet Airways are operational at the moment, said by a government official of Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
He also mentioned the situation as “dynamic”, because chances are that more aircraft of the Airways could be grounded.
Jet Airways was forced to ground three more aircraft on Thursday reason being the non-payment of lease rentals, said the airlines in an exchange filing.
On account of rental defaults, the total number of aircraft which has been grounded make a count of 28 including the newly-introduced Boeing 737 Max. 25 aircraft are parked at different airports for want of service and spare as the full-service carrier faces its worst financial crisis.
The DGCA official also told to ensure that passengers do not suffer because of flight cancellation resulting from this situation.
